When I sold my 86 M35A2C three weeks ago I had no idea I would be replacing it so soon.
Anyway, I have always wanted a 2.5 ton dump and when this beauty showed up on craigslist I just had to buy it.
It is a 1951 REO M47 that runs, but need a complete restoration. I figure it will be a 5 year project.
My thanks to the previous owner(Josh) for not selling her to the perspective buyers that wanted to part her out.
